Post your best current shots

As for colors, the same is true here in New England. I did a drive through Vermont last week and my camera didn't even leave its bag. Most I saw were very muted with a brownish tint or still green. Its a bit freakish and may end up being a bad year for colors. We'll see, but in past years where things have been delayed have not been good.

I am headed out again tomorrow, so we'll see.

....and White Mtns are peak with very good colors. Tomorrow, weather permitting, would be a great time for anyone in New England should consider a drive up. I fly out tomorrow so today was it for this weekend.

Quick example from today:

Enjoyed the whole set, but I particularly like the mood of the shipwreck.

I went back to central British Columbia this month, to photograph grizzlies again during the sockeye salmon run. My last visit was 2 years ago and I knew right away that I'd have to get back there. As expected, it was well worth it. Some of my faves:











Thanks for viewing!

YOWZA! Excellent photos. I would love to have you take me on a tour someday... you always capture amazing moments.

We headed out to Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse in South Portland, Maine this past Saturday. It was VERY cold, -12. I had to wait several hours for the Sea Smoke to provide an opening of the Lighthouse.




It was -2 tonight but after finding this barn, I had to shoot the show. I learned later that the main show was behind me, above Orion's belt but was still happy with the results.

This was a composite of a few shots of the shooting stars.

Amazing stuff Jonathan!

I especially like the second to last, but they are all great.

Amazing sunset in Iowa yesterday! It was overcast most of the evening, then a gap in the low clouds opened up right as the sun hit the horizon, illuminating the underside of the higher-altitude clouds above. These small trees in my neighborhood were the only thing remotely interesting I could find given the limited time available. I was sitting on the grass shooting upwards to avoid the houses, street lights, signs, and other unattractive clutter in a Midwestern neighborhood.

This was my first time using my new 24-70mm F4L IS. I've been missing a general purpose zoom from my kit ever since I moved to a full-frame camera. It's nice to have a lens ready for spontaneous scenarios such as this.

Usually the water is disturbed by wind or by boats, but this was after the main boating season.

The clouds looked promising so I grabbed the bicycle to take some photos last Saturday. It's a HDR photo, I might have oversaturated a little now that I have a second good look. Ah well, it's better than the depressing wet and cold real life version
